HB 2353: Amended 21 OS §13.1 to make Human Trafficking an 85% crime.
It also amends 21 OS §748 by making the punishment for Human Trafficking
five years to Life and/or up to a $100,000 fine. If the victim of Human is
under the age of 18, the punishment is fifteen years to life and/or up to a
$250,000 fine. Finally, it provided that consent of the victim to being
trafficked is not a defense to the crime in question. Effective 11/1/2014
SB 1431: Amended 57 OS §582 to make the crime of Human Trafficking for
Commercial Sex subject to required Sex Offender Registration. Effective
11/1/2014
SB 1433: Amended 21 OS §13.1 to make Human Trafficking an 85% crime
(like HB 2353). It also made the sentence of someone convicted as a Human
Trafficker not eligible for any suspended or deferred. Effective 11/1/2014
HB 3496: Created a new law (21 OS §870) which requires anyone who
believes that anyone, including a child placing agency, is engaging in human
trafficking to report it promptly to the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and
Dangerous Drugs (OBN). The OBN is then required to report it to the
appropriate District Attorney within seven days after receiving the report. The
law further states that no privilege or contract shall relieve a person from the
reporting requirement. Because the statute provides no specific penalty for
failure to report, violation would be a misdemeanor punishable up to one year
in jail and/or up to a $500.00 fine pursuant to 21 OS §21. Effective 11/1/2014
